Questions and Answers
Which of the following accurately describes how the integumentary and cardiovascular systems collaborate to regulate body temperature?
Which of the following accurately describes how the integumentary and cardiovascular systems collaborate to regulate body temperature?
- The nervous system signals the epidermis to thicken, providing more insulation, while dermal capillary plexuses constrict to reduce heat loss.
- Sweat glands constrict to prevent water loss, and the papillary layer expands to increase insulation and conserve heat.
- The papillary layer contracts, reducing blood flow, while sweat glands increase production to conserve heat.
- Dermal capillary plexuses dilate to dissipate heat, and sweat glands release sweat, which evaporates to cool the body. (correct)
How do keratinocytes and fibroblasts, located in different layers of the skin, work together to resist tensile stress (the force that pulls and stretches the skin)?
How do keratinocytes and fibroblasts, located in different layers of the skin, work together to resist tensile stress (the force that pulls and stretches the skin)?
- Keratinocytes provide a strong, flexible structure in the epidermis, while fibroblasts produce collagen fibers in the reticular layer of the dermis to resist stretching. (correct)
- Keratinocytes produce collagen, which fibroblasts then organize into strong bundles in the epidermis.
- Keratinocytes create a waterproof barrier, preventing the skin from tearing under tension, while fibroblasts provide elasticity.
- Fibroblasts in the dermis stimulate keratinocyte production, which strengthens the epidermis and increases overall skin resilience against tensile forces.
Synovial joints contain several types of tissues. Which of these tissues is correctly matched with its primary function in the joint?
Synovial joints contain several types of tissues. Which of these tissues is correctly matched with its primary function in the joint?
- Dense Regular Connective Tissue (DRCT): Stores energy reserves for joint lubrication during high-impact activities.
- Adipose tissue: Provides rigid support to withstand compressive forces.
- Dense Irregular Connective Tissue (DICT): Allows for smooth articulation between bones due to its low friction surface.
- Fibrocartilage: Absorbs shock and distributes forces, minimizing stress on the joint. (correct)
How do osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts coordinate during bone remodeling to maintain bone integrity and respond to mechanical stress?
